RJD Rift Deepens in Bihar as Tej Pratap Warns of Further Slide and Workers Target Tejashwi Aides

Protests follow the fall to 25 seats, with charges that “outsiders” now steer party decisions.

Overview

  • RJD workers demonstrated outside the party’s Patna headquarters, burned an effigy of Sanjay Yadav, and blamed him and MLC Sunil Singh for the election rout.
  • Protesters demanded leadership rooted in Bihar and alleged interference by “outsiders,” explicitly invoking figures linked to Haryana.
  • Tej Pratap Yadav, in posts tied to his new Janshakti Janata Dal, said the RJD could shrink from 25 seats to five and accused Tejashwi Yadav’s circle of humiliating him and sister Rohini Acharya.
  • Tej Pratap cited the party’s seat decline—80 in 2015, 75 in 2020, 25 in 2025—to argue the current leadership has failed.
  • Rohini Acharya alleged she was thrown out of the family and said she would quit politics, naming Sanjay Yadav and Rameez Alam; the claims remain part of an unfolding dispute.
